Fatal Games (1984) 
Fatal Games falls somewhere within 'medium tier' slasher territory for me, as a crazed killer is stalking and bumping off a group of teenage Olympic hopefuls; a javelin being their weapon of choice.
Whilst he javelin aspect allows for a few creative (and unique) kills, the film is a little light on tension overall, instead deciding to concentrate more on the trials and tribulations of the teen athletes, their pushy over-bearing coaches, inter-teen fornication and horseplay, and a side plot involving performance enhancing drugs.
Despite not guessing who the killer was, I certainly guessed how they would meet their end due to the set piece in question being meticulously and deliberately set up in such a way you couldn't help but know what was coming.
When the revealing of the killer does finally come, it all feels a little rushed. Plus, as mentioned above, due to suspecting how they will perish, a little anti-climactic too.
